Augusta-based RBW Logistics has purchased one of the largest logistics centers in that city for $7.9 million, reports The Augusta Chronicle.

RBW Logistics purchased the 400,000-square foot building that was once the Bill’s Dollar Store distribution center. The building is across from Augusta Regional Airport. RBW has been one of the main tenants in the building over the years, the newspaper reports.

The seller was NBTY Inc., the paper reports. The company made headlines in 2005 when it announced that it was going to build a manufacturing plant for an energy bar and create 600 jobs in three years.

The company was half-way into building out a manufacturing operation at the site when it decided to produce the energy bar elsewhere, the Augusta paper reports.

NBTY paid $10 million for the building in 2005, the paper said.

The original building at the site was constructed in 1999 for the expansion of discount chain Bill’s Dollar Store and was supposed to support the growth of 100 stores in the region. That company went bankrupt.
